From your information, you list 'Rus' and so it looks like you are running a Russian version of win xp. Is your exchange also a Russian version? I would like to see what the mailbox information looks like on your exchange tab. If you don't want to post that image, please send me a private message and I will let you know where to send it.

I'm in a similar situation to TAC. I'm on 3.2 -- when I go to the Exchange server it knows it's Exchange and gives a little data (not much) but the widget says "no exchange data found." Do I need to do something to make this active?

If you get the mailbox info, you should also get the counter info. Go to the Exchange machine in the Spiceworks inventory view (the device is probably in the Servers group), and hit the refresh button in the middle of the screen. After a couple of minutes, refresh the view you are looking at and there should be an Exchange sub tab on the left under General, etc. This should have info on Exchange for you. If you are using Exchange 2007, we don't gather the mailbox information since it isn't accessible over WMI, but we should be able to get the counters if you are using 2003 or 2008.

Inside the widget did you select the Exchange Server? There are hidden menu choices for Edit and Remove in the right corner of the title bar that become visible when you roll your mouse over it. Sometimes my widget "forgets" it's assigned to my email server and comes up with the No Exchange Data error. Re-selecting the right server fixes that.

Doing the above didn't accomplish anything. I have also restarted the SW service and have removed and re-added the Exchange widget. All I see is the Mailbox Size Data. I'm on Ex Svr 2003 SP2.

"there should be an Exchange sub tab on the left under General, etc."

I see the Exchange sub tab but still no Exchange Server Load portion of the Exchange Health widget as in the above pic. Just Mailbox Size. No big deall but it would be nice to have working.

I just noticed there isn't any of the Metric data on the Exchange sub tab. Maybe that's why it's not displaying anything. Any thoughts on getting this to populate?

Yes, the Exchange Server in the Ex Health widget is correct. We have, BTW, Ex '07. The Exchange tab (again, SW seems to know where Exchange is) on the server shows only a name, version and last modification date (a couple of months back). Nothing else and nothing at all in the widget except "no exchange data found." Does our use of 07 just preclude any of this working at all?

After doing that and refreshing the exchange server in SW the load data showed up in the widget. Since the WMI service on the email server was set to Manual I went ahead and stopped the service so I was back to the way it was and it continues to provide data correctly. Thanks Francis...

Well, I see that Exchange 2007 has replaced WMI providers with PowerShell. I think that would explain not getting the details (yet - I hope) but not why it doesn't even see Exchange at all except enough to know that the server has it.

A clue I suppose. Anyone know if 3.5 provides better support for EX 07?

Ah, at least I can stop digging through threads. Thanks much. Have to agree on MS. I noticed another post saying .Net would have had to been loaded into SW to make it work. I'll look for it in a later release.
